Can you belive it is less then four months until Christmas. Only 15 weekends to prepare.

I have one cute gift idea to share with you - a little gift box/Christmas tree ornament with 6 tags. It is easy to make with a new Sweet Holiday Stamp set.

I stamped the house with VersaMark ink to the brown CS and heat embossed with White DetailEP. I added Liquid Pearls to color the house. After the 'frosting' was dry I fussy cut the house by leaving narrow border all around. Then I placed it to the piece of brown cs, traced it with a pencil and cut another house shape out with scissors.

I used 20,7 cm wide and 3cm long stip of brown cs to form a box between the two houses. On the template you can see excactly how I scored and folded it.

The box will open from the top.

Six Gingerbread Men lives in my little Gingerbread house. Each tag is slightly different from another.

Gingerbread men are colored and cut same way as is the front of the house. For the tags I adhered 2 1/2" Double Sided "Tear-ific Tape" to the white cs. They are die cut with a tag die from the Spellbinders Back to Basic Tags set. After removing the protective sheet I adhered the Gingerbreads to the tags. Rest of the tape is covered with Goldenrod and Fascinationglitters.

I added some more glitter to the back of the tags with Sakura Glue pen.

Pearls on the ribbon ware originally white. I colored them with Flexmarkers. Blue tags got yellow pearls and yellow tags got blue pearls.

My idea was that after you use all the tags for the gifts, you can hang the box to the Christmas tree and use it as an ornament.

It's first Sunday of the month and that mean it's time for a new challenge at the Stamping Sensation. This month we have another easy theme: Things with wings. We are a stamping challenges so there must be some stamping on the project.

The background is inked with several colors. I used dry-wall tape as a mask. Before using the tape I added light coat of inks to the white cardstock. Then I cut some pieces out of the tape and placed it to the cs and I added more inks on top. I also flicked water drops on top for interest.

All the butterflies are stamped with Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Promarkers and fussy cut. I also added some Cotton Candy Stickles to their wings.

Butterflies bodies are colored with Sakura Glue Pen and I added SNS Dark ChocolateFlocking on top.

Wonder
which Designer contains the Grand Prize this month?

I used beautiful Autumn Splendor stamp as a focal point. She is stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with markers. I added Sakura Glue Pen to her wings and the sky and covered it with Sparkling Snow glitter. Flowers are also covered with Sakura Glue Pen and I added Sugar Plum glitter on top.

Sentiment is stamped with VersaMark ink and it's heat embossed with Fabulous Grape embossing powder. EP with glitter is not meant for sentiments but it left very good result. I addedBrushable Glue to the label edge and covered with Sugar Plum glitter.

Background is lightly inked with Dandelion, Pistachio, Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade inks. I stamped Wonky Line Backgroundwith VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Sparkle EP. Then I added more previously used inks to make the color deeper.

Matting layers are covered with Sugar Plum glitter. I used Brushable Glue and 1/4" Double Sided "Tear-ific" Tape on different layers to adhere the glitter. Most of the time I use white cardstock for the matting layers. I use a marker to color the edges to mach the glitter to avoid white peeking out from the edges.
